Weekend mini project! Since commentary on AI is inherently interdisciplinary, we connected the observations in the Pope's encyclical with decades of scholarship in Responsible AI and Ethics research and created an interactive space with these annotations!

Work with @IJ-Reynolds , @yjernite , and @meg

Lots to unpack. We started with 105 annotations. Please submit pull requests for more that we may have missed!

AI for Scientific Discovery Won't Work Without Fixing How We Collaborate.

My co-author @cgeorgiaw and I just published a paper challenging a core assumption: that the main barriers to AI in science are technical. They're not. They're social.

Key findings:

🚨 The "AI Scientist" myth delays progress: Waiting for AGI devalues human expertise and obscures science's real purpose: cultivating understanding, not just outputs.
📊 Wrong incentives: Datasets have 100x longer impact than models, yet data curation is undervalued.
⚠️ Broken collaboration: Domain scientists want understanding. ML researchers optimize performance. Without shared language, projects fail.
🔍 Fragmentation costs years: Harmonizing just 9 cancer files took 329 hours.

Why this matters: Upstream bottlenecks like efficient PDE solvers could accelerate discovery across multiple sciences. CASP mobilized a community around protein structure, enabling AlphaFold. We need this for dozens of challenges.

Thus, we're launching Hugging Science! A global community addressing these barriers through collaborative challenges, open toolkits, education, and community-owned infrastructure. Please find all the links below!

Smol course has a distinctive approach to teaching post-training, so I'm posting about how it’s different to other post-training courses, including the llm course that’s already available.

In short, the smol course is just more direct that any of the other course, and intended for semi-pro post trainers.

- It’s a minimal set of instructions on the core parts.
- It’s intended to bootstrap real projects you're working on.
- The material handsover to existing documentation for details
- Likewise, it handsover to the LLM course for basics.
- Assessment is based on a leaderboard, without reading all the material.

To start the smol course, follow here:

new smol course

If you’re building with or learning about post training AI models right now, we have a new FREE and CERTIFIED course.

🔗 Follow the org to join in
smol-course


The course builds on smol course v1 which was the fastest way to learn to train your custom AI models. It now has:

- A leaderboard for students to submit models to
- Certification based on exams and leaderboards
- Prizes based on Leaderboards
- Up to date content on TRL and SmolLM3
- Deep integration with the Hub’s compute for model training and evaluation

We will release chapters every few weeks, so you can follow the org to stay updated.

The open source AI community is just made of people who are passionate and care about their work. So we thought it would be cool to share our favourite icons of the community with a fun award.

Winners get free Hugging Face Pro Subscriptions, Merchandise, or compute credits for the hub.

🔗 Follow and nominate here:
community-spotlight


This is a new initiative to recognise and celebrate the incredible work being done by community members. It's all about inspiring more collaboration and innovation in the world of machine learning and AI.

They're highlighting contributors in four key areas:
- model creators: building and sharing innovative and state-of-the-art models.
- educators: sharing knowledge through posts, articles, demos, and events.
- tool builders: creating the libraries, frameworks, and applications that we all use.
- community champions: supporting and mentoring others in forums.

Know someone who deserves recognition? Nominate them by opening a post in the Hugging Face community forum.
